Fasting before collecting a gut microbiome sample could impact the microbial composition and diversity of the sample.

What is mate pair sequencing?

The mycobiome of individuals with improved glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity tends to harbor while individuals with worse glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity harbor Candida spp.

The are complex enzymatic systems associated with the cell surface of microorganisms, that mediate efficient degradation of plant cell wall , notably .

Microbial attachment of to host epithelial cells drives daily rhythms in production of host-derived in mice.

The table below shows the YATP (grams of cells per mol of ATP) from a strain of bacteria growing in different carbon sources. Explain why YATP is higher when the culture is growing on glucose compared to acetate. Explain the relationship between ATP yield (YATP) and cell yield (grams of cells per gram of substrate used).

Nanopore is a third generation sequencing tool that:

A bacterial culture has a growth rate of 0.4 per hour. Its doubling time is:

Which of the following IS NOT considered a factor affecting microbial growth yield?
